I fly paramotors at the moment. Every time I go to my local airport to fly I see an old man (84years old) always out flying his firefly. Really want to get one of these someday! Can't wait. Great video!

Firestar 1..true UL or the second gen which weighs just a little much to be UL.

Low flying is what FAR 103 is all about! Such a fun airplane. I really dig the orbit intro, very cool!

I wonder if any have :"Hot - Rodded" their Fireflys Either to increase range or performance. I know they're not supposed to go much over 60 MPH but I'm guessing some dudes have already found ways round that.

Thanks for the video Ben. The editing is spot on and the music is perfect for the beautiful footage. Would you mind briefly sharing your story? How you learned to fly, the process of buying the Firefly, etc? I’m in the very early stages of considering getting my LSA license. Thanks again.

Thx! I started in gliders at a local soaring club. Got my private glider rating and added from there. Firefly was a local find, it fit my mission ( max performance that could land in my yard). I highly recommend a firefly, there is a reason why they are hard to find!

Your camera should be on top of a bar which is installed on the right wing. How do you move the camera angle?

This is exactly my dream to do one day. Just a matter of getting a plane and learning to fly it LOL. But I live out in the middle of nowhere and have the land for the runway (1000 ft now but with removing some trees I can get to 1300 ft pretty easy)

Ive never been around any Kolbs, would a 6' 4" mostly in the legs be able to fly a firefly or firestar ?

Not a huge fan of 3D camera footage. It gives a weird visual of flying. The plane's coming at you and the landscape is going side to side. Takes a bit to get used to. In other news, I want your FF.
